Chapter 103: Indiscriminate Terrorist Attack (Part 4)
Li Boyong and Shihe piloted two Flags and arrived at the attack scene in time. Clearly, Wang Liumei had failed to notify the two in time.
The three Enacts preparing for the attack naturally detected the two suddenly appearing Flags.
"Damn, Alliance dogs?"
"Reformist guys, is this preparing to sell the country to the Alliance?"
"Did those guys forget that it was the Alliance that pitted our country so miserably!"
The three conservative pilots felt somewhat indignant about the suddenly appearing Flags, and also somewhat indecisive.
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Forget it, remember we are just terrorists. The goal is to kill Princess Marina; don't worry about the rest!"
"But... we are on the interception route of the Flags..."
"Then take them out!"
After a brief discussion, the three Enacts simply turned to intercept the Flags. They were prepared to simply take out the unexpectedly appearing enemies first, then turn back to shoot down the passenger plane.
But they didn't know they needed to face Flags equipped with beam weaponry, and the pilots of the Flags were both ace pilots who had experienced several major wars.
The five MA-form MS kept their formation and shot at each other head-on, but the Flags fired beams from a relatively long distance, accurately shooting down two Enacts.
"Captain!"
The surviving Enact pilot was completely panicked. In one exchange, two of their side had been taken out.
But the battle situation didn't allow him to complain. The two Flags quickly turned around and grabbed the tails of the Enacts.
"Damn, it's actually a beam. This is different from what was agreed!"
The Enact pilot tried to break free, but in front of an air combat veteran like Li Boyong, where was there any chance for a rookie like him to show off his operations?
Li Boyong cleanly shot down the last Enact, leaving no chance for the opposite side to turn the tables.
"Hey, these guys fly too straight."
Having finished the mission target, Li Boyong complained casually, while also confirming that he had received the system's mission reward.
【Mission】
Shoot down the Enacts attempting to attack the passenger plane of Princess Marina Ismail, and protect the Princess's personal safety. (Completed, reward: 3 plot points and 50 Celestial Being reputation points)
Shihe heard this and replied casually: "The Azadistan Kingdom Air Force was only re-established six years ago, and we have already shot down one-third of the air force..."
"Shihe-chan, your answer is too serious."
"You are too frivolous."
Li Boyong was just about to tease a few more sentences when he received Wang Liumei's telegram.
"Rescue operation has changed. It's highly likely an AEU trap. Evacuate quickly?"
Li Boyong almost cursed out loud. My rescue operation is already over, and you tell me this now?
However, he also knew in his heart that this couldn't be blamed on Wang Liumei. After all, he had been flying in stealth before, and even after landing, he chose areas with lower and flatter terrain to plan his flight path.
"What should we do?" Shihe also saw Wang Liumei's telegram and asked: "Let's retreat immediately."
Beep beep beep!
Li Boyong glanced at the radar that issued a warning, feeling his mouth somewhat dry. "Maybe, it's too late..."
The radar showed two squads, totaling six Enacts, pincer-attacking from two directions.
"Single-point breakthrough, then shake off the enemy?" Shihe suggested.
Li Boyong denied it: "No, we are on a long-distance raid, and the other side is well-prepared. Even if we successfully break through, we won't be able to shake off the pursuit. The one that runs out of energy first will definitely be us."
"Then what should we do?" Shihe asked seriously again, not a trace of panic in her voice.
"Now we can only shoot down all the enemy units!"
Li Boyong quickly made a decision. "First form a formation with me. We'll pretend to break through at a single point, quickly break one squad, then turn around to shoot down the other squad. In other words, defeat them one by one!"
"I'll listen to you!" Shihe's voice remained calm, because she had confidence in Li Boyong. For things like air combat, she left it to him to decide.
The two Flags re-formed into a two-machine formation and rushed toward one Enact squad first.
The Enact squad was clearly prepared for this, abandoning head-on shooting and adopting a dogfighting combat style.
On Princess Marina's passenger plane, the people of the Azadistan Kingdom were stunned by the situation on the scene.
First, they were attacked by their own country's air force, then two Flags popped out to intercept the attack. They originally thought it was the Alliance air force, but the Flags used beam weaponry to take out the three attacking Enacts in a few strokes, so it shouldn't be an Alliance unit.
Immediately after, six Enacts that should belong to the AEU suddenly popped out and fought with the two Flags.
"What on earth is going on..."
Princess Marina, like everyone present, could no longer figure out the situation, and didn't even know if she could be considered saved.
The battle between the Flags and the Enacts continued. The pilots sent by the AEU this time were not bad, and were different from the clumsy level of the Azadistan Kingdom air force pilots before.
And the Enacts were not inferior to the Flags in performance, so the battle didn't present a one-sided situation.
But...
The Flags still suppressed the Enacts.
Especially Li Boyong. In the chaotic dogfight in the air, even though he was caught by two Enacts first, he still successfully broke free through a series of maneuvers and grabbed the tail of one of the Enacts.
The Enact Li Boyong targeted wobbled a few times, but in the end, it couldn't escape the fate of being shot down by Li Boyong's beam gun.
"One for one, you go down too!"
However, these AEU pilots were indeed not rookies, and soon someone took the opportunity to go around behind the Flag again.
Li Boyong also noticed the enemy unit behind him. He quickly pulled the joystick and made a large-scale maneuver to dodge the linear rifle's shooting, but the enemy unit behind him soon followed.
Didn't manage to shake it off? Then try this!
He made a large-angle turn again. When the other side followed, Li Boyong manipulated the Flag to perform an aerial transformation.
The Flag in high-speed flight transformed from MA form to MS form, using the sudden deceleration of the transformation to go around behind the Enact.
"Wha... actually aerial transformation!"
The Enact pilot who was circled behind by the Flag was surprised. Although the Flag and Enact could theoretically perform aerial transformation, pilots who could use this technique so skillfully were undoubtedly the elite of the elite.
To think I could encounter one...
The thought of surprise hadn't finished passing through the pilot's brain when Li Boyong had already fired three shots at the Enact with his beam gun, accurately blowing the Enact into a ball of fire in the air.
Losing two teammates in a short time, the last Enact pilot of this squad also panicked.
He made an operational error in the dogfight with Shihe and was caught by Shihe and shot down.
"Continue to annihilate the enemy units."
Li Boyong manipulated the Flag to transform back into MA form and flew toward the remaining three Enacts with Shihe.
"Damn, actually lost three so quickly."
"Captain, they are coming toward us."
"Intercept! Don't let them look down on us; let them see the strength of AEU pilots."
Shooting down three Enacts quickly, then not fleeing or avoiding, but turning around to continue attacking the other three Enacts.
This arrogant action of the two Flags clearly angered the AEU pilots.
While intercepting, they sent a request for support to the rear base. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
